OK, it took a half hour to load all the photos I have of the April envelopes that arrived. I have the posts filled up through May 24th, so at the very least you'll have something to look at. It's 6 am - and I'm caffeinated. But, I'm feeling really iffy about having anything to say.
I like this envelope a lot. It's tempting me to do that thing I keep thinking I will do where I use the previous month's envelope to inspire my envelopes. If I do that, should I repost the inspiration? Decisions. Decisions.
Yesterday I watched an interview with Anne Lamott. I have enjoyed some of her books. She and her husband who is also a writer - co-authored a book called Good Writing. I believe it is 36 tips for writing. I hope my library gets a copy so that I can possibly absorb some tips on how to make my writing better.
Towards the end she had advice for people who want to be writers. It was the typical thing that people who are wildly successful say to people who would like to have a career in whatever the successful person has been successful at. They always have some yada-yada-yada - that tries to soften the reality that there is no way to know if you can be successful. They often refer to the amount of luck that might be involved. They mention the amount of work that is involved and how work can be a real chore.
The point I am making is that I am sure glad I never wanted to be a writer. I'm glad I only wanted to *write.* But, I found a way to write things where I don't have to come up with the words. How cool is that?
